USA Policy positions of Donald Trump; let's see how many he achieves

Relations between Greenland and the United States have sunk further as the Greenlandic prime minister erupted over what he called a “highly aggressive” delegation of senior officials the Trump administration said it would send to the island this week.

Usha Vance, the US second lady, and Michael Waltz, the national security adviser, are among the officials headed to the island, which is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, though US President Donald Trump has vowed to make it part of America “one way or the other”.

Vance is scheduled to make a series of cultural stops after her arrival on Thursday (local time), separate from Waltz. The national security adviser is supposed to be travelling earlier in the week with US Energy Secretary Chris Wright.

Why won’t they leave Greenland alone ugh
 
This looks like another own goal by donny
It's is so on-brand by Trump to not have anyone who thinks of due diligence and research.
He used to have Weisselberg, the company managers (non-family), Cohen and others do the actual work. Now it's just him and his 'appointees'.

Some disruptions are petty: Every N.I.H. employee, no matter how senior, has to send a weekly email to a human resources address with five bullet points stating what was accomplished in the past week. The employees never hear anything back, one senior scientist who has been at the N.I.H. for decades said. But the scientist said that he and other scientists feel a high degree of paranoia about the messages.

Other consequences are more serious: A senior scientist who studies a rare and devastating disorder that affects young children and who is studying a treatment that might help had been invited to consult with doctors caring for such children. At the last minute, he was told he could not go.

“That is completely unacceptable,” that scientist said.

The Friday before Presidents’ Day weekend in February, a senior physician scientist learned that about 20 technicians had been fired in an N.I.H. blood bank where patient samples are analyzed, part of an order that eliminated probationary workers who had been in their current position for less than two years. The order also led to the firing of probationary workers who prepare transfusions there.

Irony at its finest

The 1952 law under which the Trump administration seeks to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident who helped organize protests at Columbia University, is largely untested.

Largely, but not entirely. It was ruled unconstitutional in 1996 — by President Trump’s sister.
 
The age

Researchers at the CSIRO have been sent a Trump administration survey demanding they answer questions on diversity, gender ideology and whether they are studying “climate justice”, as the Australian government scrambles to respond to US attacks on scientific funding.

Two researchers working on American-funded projects have received the 36-point survey from the US government, this masthead can reveal, joining those at seven Australian universities sent the probing questionnaire.

At least one university research project has already had US funding pulled, sparking calls for an urgent review of Australia’s exposure to any further cuts.
 
The attacks on Tesla vehicles and facilities “appear to have been conducted by lone offenders, and all known incidents occurred at night, making identification and arrest of the actors difficult,” officials with the Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security wrote in an intelligence bulletin dated March 21 and obtained by The New York Times.

The initial assessment, shared with law enforcement agencies across the country and subject to change as investigations proceed, was based on an analysis of vandalism investigations in nine states over the past two months. It concluded that the attacks, which included firing gunshots, spraying graffiti, smashing windows and setting vehicles on fire, were “rudimentary” and not intended to injure people.
